It won't be long people!!! When I went to the doctor on Wednesday he said I am now 2 cm dilated! Also, I apparently lost my plug at some point and my cervix is thinned! He said she is all lined up and ready to go! Also, he said if I haven't had her by this coming Wednesday then we will set a date to induce!! i know this isn't a long post but I don't have much time..just wanted to give everyone the exciting update!

I have news everyone! finally! haha:) I went to see Dr. Drake for my weekly appt last monday and he said I was doing great! He also checked me and gave me the BIG news that I was one WHOPPING centimeter dilated! I felt so proud of myself! haha:) just kidding! i had a bunch of pain the night before and knew something was happening but also knew i wasn't in active labor yet..I didn't sleep a whole lot and haven't really slept since haha. Ive had that annoying pain pretty much every night and sometimes during the day as well! it comes and goes..and my belly gets really tight. i know now that those are contractions..but they aren't close enough together to go to the hospital yet. Dr. Drake doesn't want me to go to the hospital until my water breaks, or my contractions are 5 or 6 minutes apart! whichever comes first:) i'm so ready to hold our little girl:) kevin is as well! he seems to think i'll have her this coming week. I will be 38 weeks so I would feel safe at this point! i tried to bribe dr drake into inducing me now..i said he would have a better chance of watching the superbowl!!!!! haha..that was a big fat negative~! haha! well anyway, i just wanted to update everyone! i go back to the dr on wed. this coming week because they couldn't get me in on monday..hopefully next time i write i will have a baby! haha:)

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a blessed and merry Christmas! Christmas was wonderful in our household. Kevin's sisters, Kristie & Holly, and their families came up to visit this past weekend and to celebrate Christmas with us! We had SO much fun. I love when they come into town! They are always such a good time! haha:) They won't stay gone long this time though! Kristie and Holly are planning on coming back up when Rylei decides to come into the world~! Whenever that may be! haha:) I went to the doctor today and he told me I lost 2 more pounds! I told him I just don't understand! I am NOT dieting at ALL and i am definitly not exercising! haha! I'm too out of breath for that! lol:) But he also checked me today and said he could feel her head! How exciting is that?? Kevin and I got all excited haha! I'm not exactly sure what that means, but next week when I go back I will ask if I am dilated at all! I supposedly have 4 weeks left until my due date! But everyone here at work seems to think I'll have her in a couple weeks:) Mark Walker, a friend of the family, came into the hospital tonight to visit a coworker and he told me that if I haven't had her in two weeks to give him a call and he will come over and do some foot reflexology on my heels and he said that will get things started. I kinda laughed and he said he has done it twice and both times the woman went into labor within a couple days! So i have decided to take him up on that! haha:) The baby shower was on January 3rd, this past Saturday, and it was SO much fun! It was beautiful too!! I think everyone had a good time:) It sure was crowded! haha:) Rylei has soooo many clothes now!!...She will be a very well dressed little girl haha! Kevin and I are going to Babies R Us on Thursday evening to get all the big stuff we need..like a car seat and stroller, bumper pad for the crib, swing, diaper bag, baby book...all that stuff! haha:) i can't wait until she's here..
